✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read interview reviews on SDN, printed out and read myfuturedoctor.com's review, read a review on the DO forum of SDN, and that's it... I probably should have reviewed my resume and secondaries more (but it didn't hurt me).

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are beautiful. Great campus. Nice anatomy and OMM labs; nice lecture halls. New facilities being constructed. Nice on campus housing (good deal and good location, not dorm-style). The staff are friendly.

What impressed you negatively?

The rotation sites could be a little more diverse, but I honestly left with a pretty great impression.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How horrible of a wait was ahead of me.

What are your general comments?

Two hours of waiting = not fun. Interviewing and being pleasantly surprised by the facilities? Worth every bit of a flight down. Nice place.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

This one seriously needs to be restructured. We had a good two hours of sitting and doing nothing...
